Who is going to start the new thread? Spy? Ludosc?

This sucks, but he would appreciate this thread...

Tom Vandergriff, the former Arlington mayor, who brought General Motors and the Texas Rangers to Arlington, has died, his son said.

Aye, but I'm pretty sure my first reply on this thread took us to such lofty heights this year.

^^^ Got ya, good call.

I was pretty good on the 4th post:

Yeah, no chance Davis hits .300.

And Wash has said Hamilton will play LF & Cruz RF.

And I still think Salty is fucking terrible. We need to sign another C badly...

Not so much on the 5th:

And I want Xavier Nady as our RH DH, 5th OF, part-time 1B. He's started 59 games there, & it would be easy on his elbow.

bigsteve041 sure disappeared from this thread...

Vandergriff was the man. We wouldn't be talking about the Rangers if he hadn't have done so much to get them here. RIP.

And 2011 predictions are a must for the first few pages. It's crazy to look back at this entire thread (pieces of it) and see how everything came to be.

So that's now 4 of us hopeless degenerates with at least 30% of our posts on here... Who else we got?!

back in june/july, i would say at least 75% of my posts were here. i lurked every where else for a good while before i started posting regularly. so many assholes.

Holy shit. It just hit me that the Rangers WERE IN THE FUCKING WORLD SERIES THIS YEAR!!!

ludosc will definitely start it, but I'll probably try to end this one tomorrow before I go out.

I think that's a solid idea... Why mess with luck

^^^ Yep, you have 1,411 (47%) of your total posts on this thread!

Scroll over the 22+K replies on the baseball board, & you can go to this link: http://www.shaggybevo.com/board/misc.php?do=whoposted&t=54408.

Holy shit that's awesome. 514 holla!

75.5% of my posts on this thread for the win! Damn its been a good ride this year.

While we're discussing percentages, I'm curious what percentage of posts on this thread contain the phrase "Fuck the Yankees!"

I guess it wouldn't hurt to say it again, FUCK THE YANKEES!

my last post on this thread will be...

RIP Mr. Vandergriff. Glad you got to see the Rangers in the World Series.

because i started the thread, im pretty sure i can lock it...so the question is, as soon as i start the 2011 thread, should i lock this one? any thoughts?

let spystud be the last post, then lock it. that's assuming spystud isn't out getting drunk somewhere, so i don't know how this is going to work out.

I'll post some kind of final post tonight before I go out... Unfortunately, I doubt it will be very memorable.

this will be my last post on this thread:

i want to thank all of you guys for the awesomeness of this year. i can't believe how great it was to make to the World Series and beat the fucking yankees. A-cunt striking out to get us there was the icing on the awesome cake.

i've laughed with all, we've celebrated together, we've lamented together. i can't believe this thread has made it to 448 pages. that's insane. hopefully next year's will top this one.

peace out 2010, you've been a bittersweet year.

Go Rangers!

It's Time...Again!

Fuck the Yankees!

yes. this season has been memorable for obvious reasons, but this thread has added to the excitement all season long. it's nice to share my ranger fandom and my yankee/angel hatred with others. i always come here to see the latest rangers' news and gossip. thank you to all you guys.

looking forward to rangers' season 2011.

If you kids don't hear from me on the next thread, it means I didn't survive tonight. Having said that, the following post will be my 2,587th (& hopefully final!) post on this epic fucking thread...

My thank you list to our beloved Texas Rangers for 2010...

To CJ Wilson: For proving me, & many others, so very wrong!

To Colby Lewis: For those two starts against the Yankees... You could go 0-18 this year, & we still can't say shit.

To the two Darrens in the bullpen: For a STRONG regular season.

To pussy-fuck Salty: For being exactly what you always were & always will be.

To Mitch Moreland: For temporarily stopping the bleeding at 1B!

To Elvis Andrus: For keeping Brad going through all his kids.

To Andres Blanco: Just because I always like utility IFs. And for getting hot while Ian was hurt in August.

To Joaquin Arias: For fucking up that ONE inning in Tampa so badly that we finally had to fucking jettison your ass! And for bringing us Frenchy for a month.

To Josh Hamilton: For being the mother fucking MVP!!

To Judy Borbon: For starting many arguments between Beau & I. But I still think you fucking suck.

To Nelson Cruz: For being fucking BOOMSTICK!!

To David Murphy: For never bitching, yet usually producing.

To Bengie Molina: I won't even call you by my usual name for you anymore. And for that un-fucking-believable night in Boston (even though the double should have been scored an E)...

To my hero: http://i34.tinypic.com/o6h6k5.jpg (And fuck you Guzman for taking his #!!)

And to all you assholes on this thread: It's been a helluva ride, & lets do it again in '11!!!!!!

Little late to the thread, but I'm glad to see the usual suspects back for 2010 thread.

My prediction 98-65 with a win in a one game playoff over the insanely upstarted Mariners that will propel us to our First W.S. (hey, if one is to dream, its before the season starts!)

Thats all I got, Go Rangers!

Just wanted to end my participation on this thread with a self congratulatory pat on the back for my semi-successful prediction. Thanks for everyone who contributed and made this thread special- you know who you are.
